Slanted Marker

A Granite Slanted Marker is another type of gravestone or memorial marker, and it features a distinct sloped or slanted design, much like a bevel marker, but with a more noticeable angle. Here's a breakdown of its characteristics:

Granite Slanted Marker

• Shape: The granite slanted marker has a steep, slanted face, typically angled between 30 to 45 degrees, giving it a more noticeable slope compared to the gentle bevel found on bevel markers. It is not flat to the ground, but rather elevated with an angled face that stands above the surface of the cemetery plot.

• Material: Made from durable granite, known for its ability to withstand the elements and remain in good condition over time. Granite is resistant to weathering and erosion, which makes it a popular choice for headstones.

• Design: The slanted marker provides a balance between the flat markers (which are low and flush to the ground) and upright headstones (which stand tall). The slanted face makes it easier to read inscriptions because it angles toward the viewer.

• Customization: Similar to other granite markers, slanted markers can be engraved with personal inscriptions, names, dates, and decorative elements. This design allows for a larger area for engraving than flat markers but is less imposing than upright headstones.

• Placement: These markers are often placed at the head of the grave and typically stand at a slight angle, making them visible from a distance while still maintaining a relatively simple and understated profile.
